Contrary to what Blazer suggests, the want/need does not always lead to the thought. Very often, it is the thought that creates the want/need. This is a core principle on which the advertising & marketing industry operates.

When you are hungry, you think about food. But have you ever thought about food (say, while watching a cooking show on TV) and then felt hungry?

Why do many people overeat? Why do they take the action of eating past the point of hunger?

Do you want sex because you have an erection? Or do you have an erection because you want sex?

Do events which you perceive as positive make you happy? Or does being happy make you perceive events as positive?

Do you believe what you see? Or do you see what you believe?

Does anything ever mean anything, if your mind did not attach a meaning to it?
